With Li Chengdong's retreat, Zhang Yingyuan took over the command.

But not long after, a hundred households beside Zhang Yingyuan were also shot and fell down.

Then the sharp-eyed Zhang Yingyuan discovered that among the Wu army under the city, some people were aiming at themselves with long spears in their hands.

Zhang Yingyuan is indeed a man who can become a general, and his mind is very flexible. Even if he had never seen a rifled gun, at that moment, he understood.

Those officers who were shot and fell to the ground weren't unlucky, their motherfuckers were deliberately shot.

As soon as this idea came up, Zhang Yingyuan immediately squatted down.

Immediately afterwards, a bullet hit the tower behind him, causing him to break into a cold sweat.

Just now, if he hadn't squatted down fast enough, he would have been shot.

What new weapon has Wu Jun tossed up again?

Zhang Yingyuan felt tired for a while, and they couldn't raise their heads when they were shot with a flintlock gun. Now they have burst bombs, grenades, and this kind of fire gun that can shoot officers from a long distance.

I can't live this day, I can't play this station.

With more than ten years of experience in the military, he had never seen such a battle, and could not find a way to counterattack at all.

Zhang Yingyuan didn't want to lose his life here in a confused way, and there was still a lot of glory and wealth waiting for him to enjoy.

"Liu Qianhu, you are temporarily in charge of the command here. I will go to General Li to discuss the strategy for defeating the enemy."

Zhang Yingyuan handed over the command to Li Chengdong's subordinates, and then withdrew to the city with his own people. He was about to abandon the city and escape.

In other words, he wanted to surrender.

After seeing the strength of Wu Jun, he did not want to be an enemy of Wu Jun anymore, so he would lose his life at some point. As an enemy of the Qing army, at least one's life is guaranteed, and if he fails to fight, he can escape. There is no weapon in the Qing army that can shoot and kill officers from a long distance.

However, now that the two armies are at war, it is not easy for Zhang Yingyuan to surrender. There has not been an example of raising a white flag to represent surrender.

It was too difficult to surrender in the fierce battle, so Zhang Yingyuan wanted to escape to Tongling first.

If the Wu army continues to attack Tongling, he can open the city gate and surrender, which is equivalent to having the merits of anyway, and the treatment obtained is completely different from being forced to surrender on the battlefield.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yingyuan summoned his subordinates and prepared to escape from Ximen.

As for Li Chengdong's life and death and Wuhu City, he can't control that much.

As the so-called dead Taoist friends do not die poor Taoists, Zhang Yingyuan and Li Chengdong are not really good friends.

He not only ignored Li Chengdong, but also concealed his actions from Li Chengdong, so that Li Chengdong's soldiers could continue to resist and facilitate his escape.

As for Zhang Yingyuan's choice, his subordinates naturally have no opinion, and they also do not want to fight against Wu Jun, the tiger and wolf division.

Later, Zhang Yingyuan brought the army to Ximen, claiming to leave the city and attack the rear of the Wu army from outside the city.

In the entire Wuhu City, there is only one Li Chengdong who is more powerful than Zhang Yingyuan. Now that he has been taken away for medical treatment, the soldiers who are in charge of guarding Ximen naturally dare not question and stop Zhang Yingyuan.

Zhang Yingyuan's army of 10,000 left the west gate and immediately spread his legs and fled in the direction of Tongling.

Without Zhang Yingyuan's army on the city wall, the Qing army soon experienced a shortage of troops.

At this time, Wu Jun's siege ladders were already set up, and the death squads had already started climbing.

The components of the death squad are very complex, including stubborn Manchu soldiers, Han soldiers who have committed crimes, and some desperadoes who want to be promoted and rich.

The purpose of the death squad is not to retreat. If you are lucky, you can win, and there are many benefits. Those who have committed crimes can erase their mistakes, and those who want to be promoted and rich can receive huge rewards.

And with bad luck, they deserve it. Don't count on retreating, the supervisor team behind them is always aiming at them, and they will be shot directly if they dare to retreat.

In this kind of battle with no way out, soldiers are often able to burst into a powerful combat force.

In the last stand, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival in the advance, but there is no life in the retreat.

While the soldiers were climbing, the grenadiers under the city were throwing grenades at the city walls for cover.

It can be said that these death squads who siege the city are much happier than the siege soldiers in other armies.

When other armies attack the city, they are really taking their lives to fill it.

As for them, not only did they have all kinds of advanced siege equipment, but they were also covered by flintlock troops during the charge, and they were also covered by grenadiers when they arrived at the city. These cover, allowing them to greatly reduce casualties.

Said to be death squads, but in fact their casualties were not particularly large.

As the soldiers on the trolley jumped onto the city wall, and these death squads climbed to the city wall, the Qing army on the city wall began to collapse.

For the defenders, the city wall was their source of confidence. Once the enemy attacked the city wall, their psychological defense line would experience a major blow.

At such a time, if a general with high prestige stands up to command, those soldiers can also summon the courage to organize a counterattack.

But now, the largest official position on the city wall is just a guerrilla general, and a large number of grassroots generals are missing.

The guerrilla general could not mobilize the reserve troops to support the city wall, nor could he bring confidence to the soldiers. Without grassroots generals, those soldiers could not be effectively organized.

In this case, the Qing army was already defeated.

The Qing army failed to drive down the Wu army who had reached the city wall at the first time, while the Wu army on the city wall was

Every step of the way, occupying multiple gaps, covering the continuous flow of others to the city wall.

When the number of people is large enough, they will start the clearing operation.

At this time, it was hand-to-hand combat, which should have been the way the Qing army liked to fight.

But now their morale has been shattered, and they are constantly routing in the face of those desperate death squads.

"Ordered to shout the slogan of 'surrender without killing' without killing."

Li San ordered that he was also a commander in the death squad. At this time, he had already seen that the enemy's morale was completely gone, and there was no need to slaughter any more.

As long as these soldiers are properly transformed, they can become qualified soldiers.

"Surrender without killing."

"Surrender without killing."

"Surrender without killing."

As the Wu army shouted in unison, its momentum once again defeated the psychological defense line of the Qing army.

Some Qing soldiers who had been waiting for this moment for a long time threw away their weapons, and even some small flags were throwing weapons.

Someone took the lead, and the situation was like a domino effect, and others followed suit and surrendered and gave up resistance.

The city walls fell, and soon the city gates also fell wide open. More Wu troops poured into the city and began to control all parts of the county.

At the same time, the cavalry outside the city also began to hunt down those Qing troops who were unwilling to surrender and tried to escape.

At this time, the battle can basically be declared over, and the next step is to clean the battlefield and count the results.

"It's vulnerable. Looking at the world, there is no army that can rival us."

Liu Hansan was in a good mood when he saw that the city had been won.

"Weapons have had too much influence on warfare, and have even played a leading role. Tactics, tactics, and morale are not important."

Chief of Staff Tao Dongcheng said that when the weapons are not much different, the general's tactics and command can still play a role.

However, when the weapons gap is too large, the generals of the Qing Dynasty have no chance to display any tactics and command.
